It is grown both indoors and outdoors and is one of the most extensively used drugs in the U.S. and throughout the world. And though there are numerous attempts going on to legalize it-and there are some medicinal uses already permitted-cannabis can be abused just like any other drug. But before we dive into the effects this substance has on the body, let's first define it.
-Distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch)
-Problems with memory and learning
-Loss of coordination
-Trouble with thinking and problem-solving
-Increased heart rate, reduced blood pressure
Symptoms:
-Hallucinations
-Delusions
-Impaired memory
-Disorientation
Since cannabis acts as a depressant, it causes a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing. Your body's reaction time is significantly delayed and your balance is thrown off, as is your coordination. Dry mouth and an increased heart rate are also common effects of cannabis use. In high quantities, cannabis can cause some hallucinations and paranoia.
